Politics › Re: APC screening: I Don’t Think I Will Get Justice – Obaseki by agabusta: 7:45am On Jun 11, 2020
persius555:
The direct primary contravene the Covid-19 directives put in place by the government. Other parties were wise enough to settle for indirect primary.
But the party of the day prefers to throw all that in the wind because the deed must be done.

This says a lot about the APC. When a tyrant is in power, there's bound to be chaos.

If every other party decides to go for direct primary like APC, all efforts put in place in the last three months would just amount to a total waste of time and resources.
So INEC also must conduct indirect election??

Continue deceiving yourself by tacitly supporting the governor and using covid-19 as a smokescreen.

What's the difference in crowd for a direct election and indirect??

It is even a delegate election that has more crowd at a particular place than indirect, where the crowd are actually broken into smaller groups.

I have been a silent supporter of obsseki ever since the second term saga but my question is why has he not sworn in the legislature
If it was true, then he has nothing to say but to go home.
Nigerians are just hypocrites.

If it is Buhari that refuse to inaugurate members of the NASS and as such make NASS unable to operate without the necessary quorum, we'd have heard endless abuses and cries of dictatorship. Letters would have been written to the UN, US and UK.

But all the human right activists has gone mute, tacitly supporting the illegality perpetrated by Obaseki with their silence.

Ironically, it is even governance at the state levels that lack transparency and proper oversight and should be given thorough scrutiny.

Obaseki goofed big time for picking the APC nomination form. He should work with PDP to frustrate oshomhole and his men.
Work with them as??

What if he jumped ship and they refuse to give him ticket?

You think politics is 1 + 1? There are regular betrayals in politics.

He chose to stay in APC to fight it out. Looks better than going to the PDP and not getting the ticket. He'll just look like a fool.

Nigeria cannot fight the US alone. Africa leaders need to come together to save the bank from US and European control. AfDB is becoming too strong and providing support for African countries and the west are not happy about this. Adesina is also dismantling French control over the bank and indirectly over Francophone Africa countries. These are part of the reasons why they are against him.
Abeg what is France's unending interest in Africa sef?

I agree but what authority does America have to call for this?

I believe this is to influence the choice of successor as he is up for renewal.

I know an IT contrac was issued to a Russian firm and also a French company ALSTOM was sanctioned.
So we must be mindful of context

It is a similar strategy to what we see with the disinformation against the Chinese with coronavirus

Just throw innuendos about.

The question is

What exactly is he alleged to have done

Just one thing exactly
Thank you sir.

They mentioned favouritism in appointments and contracts and lack of due process.

I expected them to furnish us with some of the details of their allegation for us to put it in the right perspective, but nothing!

Guys an update I should have given a long time ago. The both ACs have been working perfectly since I separated the wiring. Felt I owed it to the house and other peeps that will be looking for solution like this.


A big thanks for all your advise and inputs. Thanks a lot, Nairalanders came through for me.
How far with your Midea ACs? Are they still working perfectly? I'm considering the product. What do you think?

WetSmoke:
It is real. A neighbor was also called. They told her she will receive a code which she did. She called out the code to them and that was all. Her money was wiped. She didn't even divulge any card details.
They fooled her. The code sent to her was an authentication code for a transaction, and it is meant to be her last line of defense.

Immediately she provided the code, she has inadvertently authorised the transaction.

Naija246:
fraudsters no invade anything.
Alot of Nigerians are being tricked by various apps on the play store to reveal their bvn...most of these apps are run by criminal networks all over the world.

Some unscrupulous people are also tricking Nigerians to give up their bvn when registering for national ID.
My gf was asked to provide her bvn when she went to register her national ID recently.
Fortunately for her she called me and I advised against giving it up.


Someone should correct me if I'm wrong but is bvn number now a requirement for registering a national ID card? huh huh
NIMC already registered NIN for everybody that has a BVN.

When such a person comes, they just regularize the data.

That is the reason, when you come to them, they ask for BVN in order to pull out the data.

Politics › Re: Buhari Restrains Ministers From Disciplining, Removing Heads Of Agencies by agabusta: 9:09am On May 23, 2020
ProfAmaben:
Hmmmm, this is a terrible way to run a country. The ministers were put there to get quick results in relatively short duration and most of them just want that. If they can't fire or threaten to fire those under them, then you've removed all the powers from them. I'm not saying that a free and fair trial shouldn't be observed but I'm sure that no minister would fire any CEO without extremely concrete evidence. Trials and hearings can take several months and these criminals would keep looting and enjoying our Common wealth
The Ministers do not have the power to fire them, according to the laws setting up the agencies.

The Ministers' actions are illegal, and it's a good one that the govt is going back to playing by the books.

Thank you so much for response. I have done everything and the temperature keep going back. I just wanted to find out if yours stays at low temperature of 16. Also, the brass does not freeze, it cools. Please how can I make the temperature to be static instead of fluctuating? I awaits your response. God bless you.
Your unit is most likely having panel problems. The panel can be repaired at Bornu way, Yaba for like 4/5k. But it must be removed and re-installed by a knowledgeable HVAC tech to avoid stories that touch.

The more prestigious and powerful Police Service Commission was formerly Chaired by a southerner, Mike Okiro.

The new Chairman is also a sourtherner from Lagos, Musiliu Smith.

Now, a newly formed Police Trust Fund is being Chaired by a Northerner and una no go allow us hear word again.

AmazingELixir:
cool cool cool


From the write up I really don't see any reason for the public outcry against the bill...the fact that it bestows much power to the DG NCDC who in this case is a career technocrat as against a politician gives the bill credence.


The only worries is the overzealous nature of the enforcers especially the men in black, my thoughts though.
Nigerians and cry cry. Showcasing herd mentality up and down. Some of the people crying out loud have not even read the provisions by themselves.

What we need to do is to take out the obnoxious sections and make it more reasonable.

We dont have to throw away the baby with the bathing water.
Crime › Re: Lagos Bricklayer Spends Six Years In Prison For Phantom Robbery by agabusta: 12:28am On May 07, 2020
In saner countries, this man's case would have prompted a review of all the persons currently undergoing detention in Lagos.

And an overhaul of police operations and the administration of justice.

However, we are in Nigeria, a country of people with shallow memory. After some days, everybody forgets about this and move on until a similar case happens again.

Dont be too quick to yab the lawyer.

She may also need to grease the palms of people at the justice ministry and police station to get the man freed.

When you proudly announce you are a lawyer from Falana's chambers, it open doors faster than just presenting yourself as an unknown lawyer (that is for people who does not know their oinons anyways).

Timieric:
The legal advice was sent to the police, but it was not forwarded to the magistrates’ court. Hence, a dysfunctional criminal legal system kept an innocent man in jail for six years..........This Is a blatant lie from the DPP and the Lagos State ministy of Justice..As a legal practitioner of long years in service, once a legal advice in a criminal matter is issued from the office of the DPP, the next step is for such advise to be issued on the police commissioner and a copy is forwarded the the Court.i.e Magistrate court.and having received by the magistrate, it would be read in the open court to the hearing of the defendant i.e the accused person to the effect that he is either having a case to answer or not...it's never the duty of the police to forward it to the court but the duty of the dispatcher from the ministry of Justice ,Lagos state.same is applicable to all states in Nigeria...the negligence and laxity emanated from the ministry of Justice and not the department of police..Thanks
But the defendant was never produced in court again after his initial appearance.

What happened?

When will you people come to reality and and stop this Anti Gates propaganda??

When it comes to Medical Science, vaccines and Science and Technology you can not make fool of India, they have massive R&Dev sector not to mention Worlds largest pharmaceutical setups.

You are talking about a country that has 9 BSL-4 Labs, 58 BSL-3 Labs and more then 1800 BSL-2 labs in that country.
A country where more then 600 PHds are done anally alone only in Microbiology, Genome science and Molecular science and Bill gates can make fool of them??
Bill gates can make fool of a Country where 7 research labs and Companies are going in second phase of Covid 19 vaccine trail??


Be rational and dont spread fake propaganda against Bill gates. Come with facts.

Why are they always interested in Nigeria. Many countries are worse hit by the virus than Nigeria but they are bent on starting their vaccination in Nigeria.

Someone said Nigeria maybe not be a military or economic world power but a Spiritual world power. I'm beginning to see sense in that.
Bill gate should start his vaccination in the USA, after all they are the greatest casualty at the moment.

This might be another Tuskegee experiment
spiritual power indeed undecided Country that is wallowing in abject poverty and underdevelopment in all spheres with chronic hunger up and down.
